Andy Phillips dies on Canada river dive
Andy Phillips has over 20 years of diving experience under his belt. The worldwide diving industry is in shock today with the announcement that PADI Platinum Course Director and technical instructor trainer Andy Phillips has died after a dive in the St Lawrence River in Canada.
The highly experienced diver went missing on Tuesday 11 June near Cornwall in Ontario. According to the Ontario Provincial Police, they received a call just before 9am regarding a diving incident – two divers had entered the water at Lock 21, a submerged lock system on Macdonnell Island in South Stormont Township that is popular with divers, but only one had returned. There were reports they were on closed-circuit rebreathers, but this has not been confirmed.
Multiple agencies were involved in the search operation, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, South Stormont and Cornwall Fire Services, US Customs and Border Protection, and a helicopter from CFB Trenton. Local residents were asked to avoid the area while the search for the missing diver continued, but after several fruitless days, it has now been called off.
Obituary: Diver Andy Phillips
Andy Phillips had been a figure in the pro diving scene for over 20 years. He first certified as a diver in 1990 on a holiday in Greece, but had been drawn to water since he was five. In 1997, after finishing university and working in the world of insurance for six months, he made the decision to turn professional and became a PADI Divemaster on the island of Koh Tao in Thailand.
Thankfully, his employer persuaded him he would make a good instructor, and he duly enrolled in 1998 on the PADI IDC in Utila, Honduras, and has never looked back. After working on the island for a while, he then moved to Costa Rica, then on to Dahab in Egypt, where in 1999 he discovered a lot for deep technical diving and exploration.
In 2000 he returned to the Caribbean and began managing Utila Dive Centre. Two years later he became a PADI Course Director (and held the Platinum level from 2005), and then at the age of 28, one of the youngest PADI Tec Rec Instructor Trainers in the world.
Through his role at Utila Dive Centre – and his previous centres – Andy brought many new PADI Instructors and technical divers into the diving fraternity. He was a highly experienced closed-circuit rebreather diver, overwhelmingly positive whenever you saw him at diving events and shows, and an enormous inspiration to many.
He discovered and named the epic dive site Neptune's Throne at Isla Espiritu Santo in Mexico, which starts in 55m and drops to more than 100m, and fellow Course Director and close friend Luke Inman has named the top of this site Andy's Pinnacle in his memory.
He is survived by his life partner Marie-Claude Dupras, his father and his sister.
From the editor: It is always hard to write about diving fatalities, but especially so when the person in question is a good friend. I had known Andy Phillips from when I first started in the industry way back in 1999, and he was hugely supportive from the get-go. I always looked forward to catching up with him at dive shows around the world, and his infectious personality and massive perma-grin will stay with me forever.
I will always remember one particular DEMA in Las Vegas where late into the evening Andy, myself and now-RAID supremo Paul Vincent Toomer presided over the 'Table of Doom' drinking far too many sambucca shots, inebriating anyone who joined us, and putting the world to rights. You will be sorely missed, my friend.
Bryon Bertrim
Horible news …. When is enough ehough.. when will the world admit there may not be such a thing as a safe CCR dive.. These are not inexperienced divers .. tripple redundency blah blah

Rip Andy, I did the nearby lock 23 on June 8th, 2 days before the tragic accident and the current was exceptionally strong due to open flood gates at the st Lawrence
Dean Gunning
I have been desperate the last few weeks to return to Utila and contact Andy. I finally decided to search for his contact details after deleting my Facebook account and find this shocking news. I'm sad and heart broken. he was an amazing individual. ill never forget him.


On March 15, 2014 Ed and Sue Kingzett pulled a series of stellar wines of the outstanding 1994 Vintage from their cellar to share at the Heathman Hotel. The starter wine, a current release Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay, was followed by a '95 Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay. Unfortunately, Ed opened the last of his superb '94' Newton Chards recently thinking there was a backup bottle.
The dinner was outstanding! The first course, Scallop with Leek Puree went beautifully with the '95 Chardonnay. The main course, Filet Mignon with Foie Gras accentuated the excellent wines. And near the end of the evening Ed generously opened a 2nd '94 Silver Oak, this from the Alexander Valley. The Chocolate Dessert was paired with a non-vintage Fonseca Port.
We were asked to vote for our favorite wines. They were: 1) Joseph Phelps Insignia, 2) Robert Mondavi Reserve, 3) Silver Oak Alexander Valley, and 4) Beringer Merlot Howell Mountain. We all agreed that were Ed to have treated us to dinner with any of the bottles from our evening, we would have been very happy.

The Belfast Giants booked their place at the PredictorBet Playoff Finals in emphatic fashion at the Skydome Arena in Coventry. A 7-2 victory over a hapless Coventry Blaze sealed a 12-2 aggregate success in a game that at times seemed more like a testimonial than a Playoff quarter final.
The pace was due to the inability of the Blaze to regain intensity in the tie once the scoreline grew to a point that it was practically out of reach for Danny Stewart's side.
Despite getting the early shots on Tyler Beskrowany's net, the Blaze, already 5-0 down from the first leg in Belfast, found it difficult in the first period to break down the Giants as they reached out to a 3-0 lead on the night, 8-0 in the tie, through goals by the "Three Js", Jonathan, Jim and Jordan. Ferland's goal opened scoring at 10:43 before the goal of the night by Jim Vandermeer at 12:59. A strike which was proceeded by a remarkably worked move front to back where the Giants bamboozled the Blaze with sublime passing and movement to leave the Giants veteran D-man in the open for a rocket of a slapshot by Jordan Headley in the Blaze net.
Headley, a surprise start for the game, has been back up to Matt Hackett the last number of months in Coventry and has shown great ability, not least when the Blaze took a win in the Viola Arena over the Cardiff Devils earlier this season. But his place in net was a welcome one for the Giants fans, despite the entertainment given the previous night in the SSE Arena when the effervescent Hackett lost his cool as the scoreline began to rise.
Jordan Smotherman finished the scoring in the first period, increasing the almighty mountain the Blaze had to climb and leaving the Coventry faithful with 40 minutes remaining in their season.
Dustin Johner made it 4-0 (9-0 agg) early in the 2nd period before the Coventry Blaze fans finally had something to cheer. Shawn Pauly finally getting the Blaze on the board after 86 minutes of play across the two legs. The enigmatic Ben Lake was to make it 2 for the Blaze as the Giants took a back seat for the middle of the game. Lake has been a stand out player in Sky Blue, it will be interesting to see if he remains in Coventry next season.
The Giants scored again early in the 3rd, Smotherman with his second of the game as the Giants started to play around with the Blaze and the pace of the game dipped, the home side accepting of their fate at 10-2.
Smotherman was to get the hat-trick with 2 minutes to go, before a final goal from Blair Riley, brought the celebration of the night as the captain raced to the bench and waved at the patrons in Block 13 of the Skydome. Famous for their goading of the away benches, Riley giving them a little bit back in good humour that was taken very well by the Blaze fans looking on. A cathartic end to their season with 30s remaining.
A 12-2 victory for Adam Keefe's men meant that they will face off at 1pm next Saturday afternoon against the Guildford Flames, recovering from a 3-0 deficit at home to Glasgow to win 7-3 overall, in the Semi Final of the Predictorbet Playoffs. While the second semi final will see the reigning playoff champions, Cardiff, face the Nottingham Panthers who breezed by Fife in their home tie last night.
Never before have the Belfast Giants had the opportunity to sweep the board and lift all trophies. This Giants side with their demolition of the team who beat Cardiff 3-1 only a week previous on the same ice, was a message to the EIHL.
Make no mistake. We want that final trophy!

Change: It's Up to Us
The current conservative narrative revolves around the imagined horrors of Socialism. Apparently without awareness of the many socialist programs upon which they depend, the reactionary segment of the U.S. voting population has taken up the latest incarnation of the old Red Scare.
A "Red Scare" is promotion of widespread fear by a society or state about a potential rise of communism, anarchism, or radical leftism. The term is most often used to refer to two periods in the history of the United States with this name. The First Red Scare, which occurred immediately after World War I, revolved around a perceived threat from the American labor movement, anarchist revolution, and political radicalism. The Second Red Scare, which occurred immediately after World War II, was preoccupied with national or foreign communists infiltrating or subverting U.S. society or the federal government…
…the Red Scare was "a nationwide anti-radical hysteria provoked by a mounting fear and anxiety that a Bolshevik revolution in America was imminent—a revolution that would change church, home, marriage, civility, and the American way of life"…[1]
If any of this sounds familiar within the context of current political debate in the U.S., well, it should. The same argument has been fomented now for 100 years. Hysteria about the creeping plague of socialism undergirded the Cold War, our disastrous policies in Latin America, and the war in Vietnam. The hue and cry of those terrified of socialism and its big brother communism has motivated the expenditure of trillions of U.S. dollars and spilled the blood of tens of thousands of our young men. The damage worldwide is incalculable.
So what exactly should we fear about these philosophies of social order? For one thing, we should avoid conflating the differing ideas. Socialism is not communism. Democratic Socialism is not Socialism. All Societies employ socialism to some degree. For example as a minimum in the United States: the public library, public works, social security, the military, the fire department, police, health care (state hospitals, Medicaid, and Medicare). All of these functions and more can operate quite well under a capitalistic democracy.
Countries that have a strong central government tend to exhibit more acceptance to social programs. The idea that people can do more as a group rather than as individuals is accepted by the population under a strong central government and are more willing to surrender certain personal rights. In North America, two similar countries can be compared. Canada, for example, has a strong central government as evident in her national gun laws and criminal codes applied across all provinces and territories, and at the political level a healthy socialist political party…
The United States, on the other hand, has strong state rights over a central government resulting in various gun laws and criminal codes across the country, and does not have a party with socialist leanings (although the Democratic Party is often referred to as liberal). Therefore, individualism is a characteristic in the United States that is highly regarded and individuals are less likely to surrender certain personal rights. Social programs greater than the absolute minimum are considered charity at best and at its worst seen as diluting individualism and reducing personal wealth.
Americans, therefore, view socialism as a threat to their individualism and coupled with the McCarthy Era's effective propaganda have developed an unrealistic definition between it and communism supported by fear.[2]
Face it. We're no longer a society dominated by small close-knit communities where caring neighbors or a church provided care for those in need. Many of us don't even know our neighbors. Neither churches nor charitable giving offer systematic methods of determining whether someone is truly needy or simply playing on sympathies. Nor do local charities have a method to ensure that assistance is available to all who might need it rather than the select few who appear at the church house door. Nor is there any assurance that the amount of support provided by a charity is appropriate to the need at hand. Charities themselves are often cookies jars raided by their operators.These are the exact reasons a federal system became vitally important as our nation grew beyond its early days of small rural communities.
While we thumb through our Twitter feed or view video from around the world, why do we expect that despite all the advances in technology and global economies that we're somehow able to exist socially in a previous century? We are not what we were in 1850 or 1900 or even 1950.
As for that mythical freedom to pursue our fortunes, it's time to recognize that those days are long gone – if, indeed they ever existed. There is no free land given to veterans of war or government projects, no expanses of virgin timber, no undiscovered gold. Our population in 1800 was 5,308,483. Now it's 291,421,906.
If a rich man can afford five houses, two yachts, and countless other luxuries, why is it a hardship to take enough of his money so that he can only afford two houses and one yacht? Chances are high that he didn't create that wealth by himself but rather workers hired at the lowest possible rate of pay in order to profit off their labor. Or he inherited his fortune from someone who did the same.
If a poor man is homeless, what do we do about it—let him die on the street?
From NPR. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2010/11/08/131166492/when-disabled-child-turns-21-parents-face-new-care-challenge
If a newborn is the one out of 33 born with a medical problem like a heart defect, spina bifida, cleft palate, clubfoot, or congenital dislocated hip, and her parents have no medical insurance, what's the right thing to do?
If people don't have enough to eat, do we feed them?
If we are faced with a life-threatening illness, should we lose our home and everything we own to get medical care?
Is it truly our morality as a nation to allow the pharmaceutical industry to gain billions in profits while forcing the poor to die without the medication they need to survive? To allow doctors to live like royalty? To allow hospitals to generate profit off the sick and dying?
What is socialism, anyway? By its old definition, a socialist economy was owned by the people. Factories, offices, and industry in general were either worker cooperatives or government owned. No one in the U.S. except perhaps the extreme left advocates for such a system. The problems of this approach included worker apathy and potential for corruption, not that capitalist systems don't suffer similar downsides. The benefit was that everyone had means of support and a job to do.
A new approach to social problems is called democratic socialism. Let's look at what that means.
…in many of the societies of Western Europe which have adopted progress toward democratic socialism, productivity, standards of living, incentives, and markers of personal happiness and security are very high. Social democracy is a kind of socialism that tries to mix parts of socialism with capitalism. In this system, the government takes wealth (money) from the rich and gives it to the poor… but despite there being more government control and less chance to make a very large amount of money, people can still run their own businesses and own private property. Unlike communism, where all private property is taken to be owned publicly, people and businesses pay taxes on their property, and this money is spent on public services after taking out the costs of running the government and collecting the taxes. [3]
We as a democratic nation have an ongoing opportunity to craft a society that allows for entrepreneurship while also providing a safety net for those who need our help. We're already pretty far along this path but much more work remains to be done. The question is, do we go backwards now, undo laws governing labor (sick leave, vacation time, 40-hour work week, workplace safety, retirement benefits)? Cancel policies providing food, medical care, and minimal living support for the disabled and poor? Do we go back to subscription schools where only those who can afford it are able to educate their children?
Or do we make clear-eyed decisions about how to best provide an equitable existence for our fellow man? Because, yes, we are our brothers' keepers. We live in a nation still rich in opportunity. We're not stupid. We need to approach these questions with open minds and do what we as Americans do best – move forward with meaningful solutions. That's what will make America great.

Further reading: Saving Capitalism, by Robert Reich
"Perhaps no one is better acquainted with the intersection of economics and politics than Robert B. Reich, and now he reveals how power and influence have created a new American oligarchy, a shrinking middle class, and the greatest income inequality and wealth disparity in eighty years. He makes clear how centrally problematic our veneration of the "free market" is, and how it has masked the power of moneyed interests to tilt the market to their benefit.
"Reich exposes the falsehoods that have been bolstered by the corruption of our democracy by huge corporations and the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street: that all workers are paid what they're "worth," that a higher minimum wage equals fewer jobs, and that corporations must serve shareholders before employees. He shows that the critical choices ahead are not about the size of government but about who government is for: that we must choose not between a free market and "big" government but between a market organized for broadly based prosperity and one designed to deliver the most gains to the top. Ever the pragmatist, ever the optimist, Reich sees hope for reversing our slide toward inequality and diminished opportunity when we shore up the countervailing power of everyone else.
"Passionate yet practical, sweeping yet exactingly argued, Saving Capitalism is a revelatory indictment of our economic status quo and an empowering call to civic action."
"What Causes Poverty" by Mike Sosteric
"…Poverty causes nothing but hardship and struggle for the people. Children who grow up in poverty have poor health, poor hygiene, poor diet, poor housing, lousy experiences at school (as evinced by higher absenteeism and lower scholastic achievement), more behavioural and mental problems, and long term employment difficulties. Adults who are poor have the same difficulties as their children, getting sicker more often, being unemployed for longer periods, taking more time off work, living shorter lives, and so on. There is no doubt about it, being poor is a liability: it causes disability, disease, and even death…"

FINA, an international federation for all aquatic sports, sought to enter the mobile app space for the first time. Omnigon reached out to FINA to execute on this vision, and I was assigned to pitch to FINA. As a result of winning the mobile app project, I acted as the design lead. As the lead designer, I developed the visual system and collaborated with the UX lead to help create a user experience that was not only functional, but would enhance fan experience and user engagement.
This is the pitch work that won the FINA project. These designs helped create a starting point for the actual app.
The new FINA mobile application provides fans with up-to-the-minute statistical information and results in every events during championships. With great amounts of information, the goal was to make the app simple to use yet visually appealing that would elevate FINA current brand. We concentrated on the analysis of the content by doing user research, figured out the structure and hierarchy, focused on visual designs and interactions, thus creating a rich, straightforward and pleasant experience for FINA's fans.

Caelbad lub Cóelub – legendarny król Ulaidu z dynastii Dál nAraidi w latach 343-358 oraz na wpół legendarny zwierzchni król Irlandii w latach 357-358. Syn Cruind Badrui (Crond ba Druí), króla Dál nAraidi, prawnuka Rossy mac Imchada, króla Ulaidu i zwierzchniego króla Irlandii.

Informacje o jego rządach w Ulaidzie z Emain Macha czerpiemy ze źródeł średniowiecznych. W "Rawlinson B 502", manuskrypcie z XII w., zanotowano na jego temat: "Coelbad m[a]c Cruīn[n] .xu. b[liadna]" (faksym. 157), zaś "Laud 610" (XV w.) "Coelbad m[a]c Cruínd .xu. blī[adna]" (fol. 107 b 25). Zastosowano tam w tekście abrewiację oraz zapisano małymi literami rzymską cyfrę XV, oznaczającą piętnaście lat rządów. Według średniowiecznej irlandzkiej legendy i historycznej tradycji objął tron po dwunastu latach bezkrólewia. W 331 r. doszło do podboju Ulaidu i zniszczenia stolicy Emain Macha, zaś w bitwie zginął poprzednik i bratanek, Fergus IV Foga.

Caelbad objął zwierzchni tron w wyniku pokonania i zabicia swego poprzednika, Muiredacha II Tirecha, w Portrigh ("Fort Królów"; prawdopodobnie antyczna nazwa Bernburbu) nad rzeką Dabhall (antyczna nazwa rzeki Abhainn-mhor lub "Czarna Woda" na terenie hrabstw Tyrone i Armagh). Cieszył się władzą tylko przez rok, bowiem został zabity przez swego następcę, Eochaida Muigmedoina, mściciela śmierci ojca. Caelbad miał żonę Céindi, która urodziła mu syna Condlę, ojca Eochaida V mac Condlai (zm. 553 r.). Miał także dwóch innych synów: następcę Sarana i Fiachrę I Lonna, przyszłych królów.

Chronologia
Uczeni uważają chronologię wczesnej irlandzkiej historycznej tradycji za sztucznie urobioną. Datują upadek stolicy Emain Macha na 450 r. Uważają, że "Trzej Collasowie" to Conall, Enda i Eógan, trzech synowie arcykróla Nialla I Noígiallacha, którzy także dokonali podboju Ulaidu w V w. Według danych genealogicznych Caelbad nie mógł tak wcześniej panować nad Irlandią, bowiem jego wnuk Eochaid V zmarł w 553 r. Na tej podstawie trzeba przesunąć czas rządów Caelbada na pierwszą połowę V w.

Large Hadron Collider shut down by a Weasel!
A small mammal has sabotaged the world's most powerful scientific instrument.The Large Hadron Collider, a 17-mile superconducting machine designed to smash protons together at close to the speed of light, went offline overnight. Engineers investigating the mishap found the charred remains of a furry creature near a gnawed-through power cable."We had electrical problems, and we are pretty sure this was caused by a small animal," says Arnaud Marsollier, head of press for CERN, the organization that runs the $7 billion particle collider in Switzerland. Although they had not conducted a thorough analysis of the remains, Marsollier says they believe the creature was "a weasel, probably." (Update: An official briefing document from CERN indicates the creature may have been a marten.)The shutdown comes as the LHC was preparing to collect new data on the Higgs Boson, a fundamental particle it discovered in 2012. The Higgs is believed to endow other particles with mass, and it is considered to be a cornerstone of the modern theory of particle physics.

Sony Pictures has titled its new film about beloved TV personality Fred Rogers, and it fits like your favorite cardigan.
Tom Hanks stars in the previously untitled movie, now named "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood." It was directed by Marielle Heller and will hit theaters in fall 2019. The cast also includes Matthew Rhys, Chris Cooper, Tammy Blanchard, and Sakina Jaffrey.
The film is inspired by a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers, star of the long-running "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," and award-winning journalist Tom Junod. It tells of a cynical journalist who begrudgingly accepts an assignment to write a profile piece on the beloved icon and finds his perspective on life transformed.
Heller ("The Diary of a Teenage Girl" and "Can You Ever Forgive Me?") is directing from a script by Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster. Hannah Minghella, president of TriStar Pictures, will oversee for the studio.

2023 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Might Get a Cadillac Blackwing Boost

It's not the Z/28 we dreamed of, but it's the next best thing.
You might have already seen some spy shots of a camo-clad Chevy Camaro at the Nürburging floating around the internet thanks to a post on the German website Modern Muscle Cars, but it is most certainly not a new ultra-high-performance Z/28. Even though every single Camaro enthusiast (yes, every single one, we checked) wants to see what Chevrolet could do if it made a sixth-generation Z/28, it isn't going to happen. We know the project has been dead for a while and, trust us, we are big-time sad. So, what exactly is that winged, big-tired Camaro the Bow-tied internet has become fixated on?
Well, it seems to be a Camaro ZL1 or its evil twin, the ZL1 1LE. Those two beasts have been around almost completely unchanged (save for some tail light modifications) since their respective debuts a few years back, but it looks like Chevy wants to send the sixth-gen Camaro out with a Cadillac Blackwing-powered bang. According to a source deep inside GM, the Camaro ZL1 (and likely the higher-downforce, more track-focused ZL1 1LE) will be getting some Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing-inspired goodies for their last two model years.
The CT5-V Blackwing came screaming out of the gates with a 668-hp version of GM's supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V-8 engine, the latest generation of GM's MagneRide suspension tech, and the option for Brembo carbon ceramic brake rotors. These are all performance-enhancing goodies that Chevy's ZL1 duo doesn't have (well, the ZL1 currently uses a 650-hp version of the LT4, but you get the point). While full details of the changes are still pretty vague, a spec bump for the Camaro's final two years makes sense to us.
After all, the 5th-generation Z/28 was only around for the 2014 and 2015 model years, and it was one heck of a final hurrah to the Camaro's comeback after its near decade-long hiatus. It wouldn't surprise us at all if these changes were made for 2023 and stuck around until the end of the sixth-generation Camaro's life. We've previously reported that 2024 will be the sports car's final year on the scene, after which it will be replaced by, of all things, an electric performance sedan.
Even though the idea of a new ultra-hardcore Camaro Z/28 still tugs at our heartstrings, we can only dream of what a Blackwing-spec Camaro ZL1 could do. Maybe then the new Ford GT500 would have something to seriously worry about. But only time will tell, and we're eagerly awaiting that time.

Motorists are required by Kansas law to stop and exchange information after an accident, and rightly so. However, as a recent accident in our area showed, doing so can put you in danger of further injuries.
Early in the morning of October 6th this year, as News Channel 4 reports, a large and complex car accident resulted in multiple serious injuries. It started ordinarily enough when a truck was rear-ended by a car. The two drivers, Robert Joseph and Nicholas Hitchcock, left their vehicles and stood off to the side of the road to exchange insurance information.
While they were outside their vehicles, a third vehicle crashed into the car, which then propelled the truck across the road. The truck then collided with a fourth vehicle travelling in the oncoming lane. Joseph and Hitchcock were both seriously injured and taken to the local hospital in critical condition. Two others were also injured.
Staying conscious of safety in the event of an accident.
Call the police right away. The investigating officer will put his or her lights on at the scene and divert traffic to keep you and the other people involved in the accident safe. Cooperate with the officer's instructions in order to maintain safety at the scene.
If possible, turn on your hazard lights. Even if your car isn't drivable, your lights will most likely still work. Turn those lights on to show other motorists that there is a disabled vehicle.
If possible, remove your car from the road. Once you have taken pictures of the collision and notified the police of the accident, you and the other driver should move your cars off of the road as much as possible, especially if they are blocking traffic. If your cars cannot be moved, make sure you inform the police so that they can immediately begin diverting traffic.
When you and the other driver exchange information, do so away from the edge of the road. This is especially crucial if you are on a busy roadway. You want to put as much distance as possible between yourself and other cars driving by in the event that one of those cars collides with your car.
Car accident cases can be difficult enough to resolve when they only involve two people. The more people and vehicles are involved in an accident, the more complicated it can become. It may be harder to find fault in a case that involves so many different factors, especially if it's difficult for those involved to figure out the chain of events. Multiple insurance companies may be involved, and liability for the injuries sustained may be hotly contested.
The dedicated car accident attorneys at Bretz & Young know how to ask tough questions and get the information our clients need to successfully resolve their cases. We investigate every aspect of an accident. We interview witnesses. We review police reports, medical records and anything else that can build a case for our clients.

Pilot wearing 'Maverick' helmet caught flying through Star Wars canyon
(Photo: @lohffingfoto via Instagram)
A sharp-eyed aviation photographer caught a photo of a U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet two-seat variant transiting through the Star Wars canyon, one of the most popular western U.S. low-flying areas, earlier this month during what appears to be filming of in-cockpit sequences for the upcoming "Top Gun: Maverick" movie.
The photo, posted to Instagram by Christopher Lohff (@lohffingfoto), shows the pilot/front-seater wearing the same HGU-68/P lightweight flight helmet with custom graphics as seen in previously leaked photos from the production of "Top Gun: Maverick". The upcoming film, slated for release on June 26, 2020 in the U.S., is likely entering the final stages of its production phase before going to post-production and editing.
Christopher Lohff on Instagram: "Someone's excited for the Top Gun sequel! This VFA-122 Flying Eagles F/A-18F pilot was sporting what I can only recognize as Maverick's…"
Another interesting detail in the photo is the appearance of an array of what appears to be four of the new Sony VENICE CineAlta video cameras on the coaming of the rear cockpit. The new Sony VENICE CineAlta is a full-frame, 36x24mm digital video camera that shoots at a maximum resolution of 6048×4032 and can be modified to shoot at even higher quality resolution. The cameras cost about $42,000 USD each without lenses or upgrades for higher resolution.
The Sony VENICE CineAlta array seen in the F/A-18 appears includes four rearward-facing cameras in the aft cockpit of the F/A-18 with various focal length lenses including at least two very wide-angle lenses. The camera array is fitted to the top of the rear cockpit coaming at the top of the instrument panel with a custom machined mount.
These photos give a clue about what some of the in-cockpit sequences may look like when the film debuts next year.
Just before the photos from the western low-flying areas appeared on Instagram, the Internet was filled with "spy" photos of an F-14 Tomcat being used in filming for the upcoming movie. The appearance of the Tomcat suggests a retrospective sequence, some kind of "flashback" to the original "Top Gun" in this upcoming release.
Skid Voodoo on Instagram: "Our Hero Tomcat should be returning to the San Diego Air & Space Museum Annex soon. Its service to the new film is coming to a close after…"
The F-14 Tomcat that was sighted around Coronado Island and North Island NAS also showed up on the deck of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) for some filming sequences. One sequence included the aircraft being stopped in the large net/arresting barrier used for emergency recoveries onboard ship. The F-14 used in the filming is likely Grumman F-14A Tomcat #159638, an aircraft previously on display at the San Diego Air & Space Museum's Gillespie Annex in El Cajon, California.

Aja (, pronounced like Asia) is the sixth studio album by the American jazz rock band Steely Dan. It was released on September 23, 1977, by ABC Records. Recording alongside nearly 40 musicians, band leaders Donald Fagen and Walter Becker pushed Steely Dan further into experimenting with different combinations of session players while pursuing longer, more sophisticated compositions and arrangements for the album.

The album peaked at number three on the US charts and number five in the UK, ultimately becoming Steely Dan's most commercially successful LP. It spawned a number of hit singles, including "Peg", "Deacon Blues", and "Josie".

In July 1978, Aja won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Recording – Non-Classical and received Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. It has since appeared frequently on professional rankings of the greatest albums, with critics and audiophiles applauding the album's high production standards. In 2010, the Library of Congress selected the album for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant."

Recording
The album was produced by Steely Dan's longtime producer Gary Katz and features several leading session musicians. The eight-minute-long title track features a jazz-based chord progression and a solo by saxophonist Wayne Shorter. Becker did not perform on "Black Cow" or "Peg".

Title and packaging
The album's title is pronounced like Asia. Donald Fagen has said the album was named for a Korean woman who married the brother of one of his high-school friends. The cover photo by Hideki Fujii features Japanese model and actress Sayoko Yamaguchi and was designed by Patricia Mitsui and Geoff Westen. The inside photos were taken by Walter Becker and Dorothy A. White.

Marketing and sales
Aja was released on September 23, 1977 by ABC Records. In anticipation of the release, Katz urged the relatively private Fagen and Becker to raise their public profile, including a meeting with Irving Azoff for his services as their manager. Fagen expressed initial reservations at the time: "We were ready to go blissfully through life without a manager."

With Azoff's connections with record stores and the album being offered at a discounted price, Aja became "one of the season's hottest albums and by far Steely Dan's fastest-selling ever", according to Cameron Crowe in the December 1977 issue of Rolling Stone. Within three weeks of release, the album reached the top five of the Billboard 200, ultimately peaking at number three to become the band's highest-peaking album on the chart. It also reached number five on the UK albums chart. According to Billboard, it became the band's biggest hit and one of the first albums to be certified platinum.

When DTS attempted to make a 5.1 version, it was discovered that the multitrack masters for both "Black Cow" and the title track were missing. For this same reason, a multichannel SACD version was cancelled by Universal Music. Donald Fagen has offered a reward for the missing masters or any information that leads to their recovery.

Reception and legacy

Reviewing in 1977 for Rolling Stone, Michael Duffy said that "the conceptual framework of [Steely Dan's] music has shifted from the pretext of rock & roll toward a smoother, awesomely clean and calculated mutation of various rock, pop and jazz idioms", while their lyrics "remain as pleasantly obtuse and cynical as ever". Duffy added that while the duo's "extreme intellectual self-consciousness" was beginning to show its limitations, the latter "may be precisely the quality that makes Walter Becker and Donald Fagen the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies." Robert Christgau of The Village Voice initially "hated" the record before he "realized that, unlike The Royal Scam, it was stretching me some", while noting that he was "grateful to find Fagen and Becker's collegiate cynicism in decline". However, he believed the band's preference for longer, more sophisticated songs "could turn into their fatal flaw". Greg Kot was also lukewarm toward the band's stylistic departure, later writing in the Chicago Tribune: "The clinical coldness first evidenced on The Royal Scam is perfected here. Longer, more languid songs replace the acerbic pithiness of old." Barry Walters was more receptive in a retrospective review for Rolling Stone, saying "rock has always excelled at embodying adolescent ache. But it's rare when rock captures the complications of adult sorrows almost purely with its sound."

Jazz historian Ted Gioia cites Aja as an example of Steely Dan "proving that pop-rock could equally benefit from a healthy dose of jazz" during their original tenure, which coincided with a period when rock musicians frequently experimented with jazz idioms and techniques. In the opinion of Pitchforks Amanda Petrusich, it is "as much a jazz record as a pop one", while Ben Ratliff from The New York Times says it "created a new standard for the relationship between jazz and rock, one that was basically irreproducible, by Steely Dan or anyone else ... a progressive jazz record with backbeats, a '70s hipster's extension of what had been Gil Evans's vision two decades earlier." In Dylan Jones' list of the best jazz albums for GQ, Aja ranked 62nd.

The album has been cited by music journalists as one of the best test recordings for audiophiles, due to its high production standards. Walters noted in his review "the album's surreal sonic perfection, its melodic and harmonic complexity - music so technically demanding its creators had to call in A-list session players to realize the sounds they heard in their heads but could not play, even on the instruments they had mastered." Reviewing Ajas 2007 all-analog LP reissue, Ken Kessler from Hi-Fi News & Record Review gave top marks to both recording and performance qualities, calling the album "sublime jazz-rock that hasn't aged at all - unless you consider 'intelligence' passe - it is everything you expected the painfully hip/cool Becker and Fagen to deliver."

Accolades
Aja has frequently appeared on rankings of the greatest albums of all time. In 1991, France's Rock & Folk included Aja on a list of the 250 best albums released during the magazine's existence, beginning in 1966. In 1999, it was ranked 59th on the national Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoths "Top 99 Albums of All Time". In 2000 it was voted number 118 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. In 2003, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and ranked number 145 on Rolling Stones "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list, maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list, before rising to number 63 in a 2020 reboot of the list. In 2006, Aja was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. In 2010, the Library of Congress selected Aja for inclusion in the United States National Recording Registry based on its cultural, artistic or historical significance alongside De La Soul's 1989 debut album 3 Feet High and Rising which sampled the album as well. Based on such rankings, the aggregate website Acclaimed Music lists Aja as 95th most acclaimed album of the 1970s and the 318th most acclaimed album in history.

The singer Bilal names it among his 25 favorite albums, explaining that, "It's a great body of work. It seems very thought out from beginning to end, every song just had a certain vibe. The songwriting to the sound and the look of the album, the whole package was just very well thought out."

Classic Albums episode
In 1999, Aja was covered for an episode of the British documentary series Classic Albums, featuring a song-by-song study of the album (the only omission being "I Got the News", which is played during the closing credits), interviews with Steely Dan co-founders Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (among others) plus new, live-in-studio versions of songs from the album. Becker and Fagen also play back several of the rejected guitar solos for "Peg", which were recorded before Jay Graydon produced the satisfactory take. Andy Gill, one of the other interviewees, said: "Jazz-rock was a fundamental part of the 70s musical landscape … [Steely Dan] wasn't rock or pop music with ideas above its station, and it wasn't jazzers slumming … it was a very well-forged alloy of the two – you couldn't separate the pop music from the jazz in their music." Discussing the album's sound, British musician Ian Dury said in the episode that he heard elements of legendary jazz musicians like Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, and Art Blakey. "Well, Aja's got a sound that lifts your heart up, and it's the most consistent up-full, heart-warming … even though, it is a classic LA kinda sound", Dury explained. "You wouldn't think it was recorded anywhere else in the world. It's got California through its blood, even though they are boys from New York … They've got a skill that can make images that aren't puerile and don't make you think you've heard it before … very 'Hollywood filmic' in a way, the imagery is very imaginable, in a visual sense."

Yacht rock

In retrospective appraisals, Aja has been discussed by music journalists as an important release in the development of yacht rock. For Spin in 2009, Chuck Eddy lists it among the genre's eight essential albums. Writing for uDiscoverMusic in 2019, Paul Sexton said that with the album, Steely Dan "announced their ever-greater exploration of jazz influences" that would lead to "their yacht-rock masterpiece" in 1980's Gaucho. Patrick Hosken from MTV News said that both Aja and Gaucho show how "great yacht rock is also more musically ambitious than it might seem, tying blue-eyed soul and jazz to funk and R&B". Aja was included in Vinyl Me, Please magazine's list of the 10 best yacht rock albums, with an accompanying essay that said: "Steely Dan's importance to yacht rock can't be overstated. … Arguably the Dan is smoothest on the 1980 smash Gaucho, but Aja finds Walter Becker and Donald Fagen comfortably hitting a middle-ground stride … as a mainstream hit factory while remaining expansive and adventurous". John Lawler from Something Else! said, "The song and performance that best exemplifies the half-time, funky, laid (way) back in the beat shuffle within the jazz-pop environment of the mid- to late- 70s can be found on 'Home at Last.' Bernard "Pretty" Purdie feeds off Chuck Rainey's bass with righteous grooves and masterful off-beat fills with alacrity in this tight band favorite."

AC Motor VS. DC Motor: Which One Is Better For EVs?

printfriendly share - AC Motor VS. DC Motor: Which One Is Better For EVs?
The year 2017 has seen a great deal of success for the market sales of electric vehicles (EV) in the United States. According to a well-known online community platform, InsideEVs, Americans purchased nearly 200,000 EV units. The demand is expected to continue to rise in the coming years.
Tesla's Model S, Chevrolet's Bolt EV, and Toyota's Prius Prime were all at the top of the leaderboard, thanks to their stylish designs and remarkable running conditions. The success though should rightfully be credited to the motors of the EV.
Behind the massive demand and great success of electric vehicles, future car owners are also looking into the performance of the motors. Two of the most innovative and best-performing motors to choose from are AC induction motor and DC brushless motor (permanent magnet AC synchronous).
Both motors share the same purpose of elevating EVs and creating a healthier planet. Due to the exceptional wide speed range of the motors, EVs have acquired an impressive capability of running with just a single-speed gearbox. The only thing that separates the motors from each other is the voltage usage.
All About the AC Induction Motor
An AC motor is actually a three-phase motor that has a speed feature of running at 240 volts. Car enthusiasts and experts deem this type of motor is adaptable. Its regenerative feature can also work as a generator that brings back power to the battery of an EV.
When it comes to road performance, electric vehicles with AC motors can get a better grip at rougher terrains and run more smoothly. It also has more acceleration.
Even though AC induction motors are more expensive than DC motors, they are still popular to a wider market and automobile manufacturers because it is ideal for high-performance cars. EVs with adaptable motors also last longer.
What To Know About the DC Brushless Motor
In most cases, a DC motor will run between 96 to 192 volts. The permanent magnet motor utilizes rare-earth elements into its magnets, which makes it unique.
More car companies are also beginning to switch from induction motors to permanent magnet motors because it has a size and weight advantage that is more significant as automobiles are becoming relatively smaller. They are also being used in almost all electric vehicles around the globe.
One company that made a big jump in its motor usage is Tesla. A lot of people know that the famous California-based corporation applies an AC induction motor to all its model cars, but when Model 3 EV was showcased, it was discovered that they altered its motor.
According to officials, the reason the reason for the change is that it does not need an additional electricity, unlike the AC motor. They also mentioned that using the permanent magnet motor has solved their cost-minimization function.
Carmakers And Their Models Using AC & DC Motors
Chevrolet –The corporation was founded in 1911 and is a division of the General Motors Company. It has an estimated revenue of $50 billion. The company uses DC brushless motors in its car models like the Bolt EV.
Nissan – The company headed by Hiroto Saikawa manufactures and sells electric and commercial vehicles. Nissan has a projected revenue of $73.6 billion. Its EV model, Nissan Leaf is currently using a DC motor.
Tesla – Tesla was established in 2003 and since then, it has become popular because of the works of Elon Musk. The startup company designs, manufactures, and sells electric cars. It is estimated that Tesla has an estimated revenue of $11.8 billion. The Model S EV of the company uses an AC induction motor.
Many car owners sometimes overlook the importance of induction motors and permanent magnet motors. The bold thing about these types of electric motors is that they could predict not just the possible car sales, but also the performance of EVs as a whole in the future.

Wright says:
They should use more of the induction motors. Induction motor was founded by NIKOLA TESLA.
It does not need rare-earth elements, is more adaptable, more reliable, uses three phase…
I suspect industry is rigging something again whilst trying to save a bit on weight and cost.
Savings as such often lead to trouble down the line, but oh well…

Gresten-Land osztrák község Alsó-Ausztria Scheibbsi járásában. 2022 januárjában 1499 lakosa volt.

Elhelyezkedése

Gresten-Land a tartomány Mostviertel régiójában fekszik, az Eisenwurzen történelmi tájegységben, a Kleine Erlauf folyó mentén, az Ybbstali-Alpokban. Legmagasabb pontja a 958 m-es Schwarzenberg. Területének 49,5%-a erdő, 46,3% áll mezőgazdasági művelés alatt. Az önkormányzat 4 települést és településrészt egyesít: Oberamt (417 lakos 2022-ben), Obergut (29), Schadneramt (353) és Unteramt (700).

A környező önkormányzatok: északnyugatra Randegg, északra Wang, északkeletre Reinsberg, keletre Gresten, délkeletre Gaming, délre Lunz am See, délnyugatra Ybbsitz.

Története
A község falvai az berhauseggi vár uradalmához tartoztak. Építőit, a Hausegg nemzetséget 1142-ben említik először, egy bizonyos Berengar de Hawsec hercegi miniszteriális (csatlós) nevében. Maga a vár 1181-ben szerepel először az írott forrásokban. A család 1305-ben férfiágon kihalt és Otto von Stein örökölte a birtokot. 1326-ban a regensburgi püspök vásárolta meg a várat; ezt követően birtokosai gyakran változtak, állaga romlásnak indult és 1588-ra már romba dőlt.

Az 1938-as Anschlusst követően az itteni falvakat a Német Birodalom Niederdonaui gaujába sorolták be. A második világháború végén, 1945. április 26-án Schadneramtban az SS tagjai 16 magyar zsidót végeztek ki. A háború után a régió ismét Alsó-Ausztria részévé vált.

A mai önkormányzat 1968-ban jött létre Oberamt, Unteramt és Schadneramt községek egyesülésével.

Lakosság
A gresten-landi önkormányzat területén 2021 januárjában 1499 fő élt. A lakosságszám 1869 óta 1500 körül stagnál. 2019-ben az ittlakók 98,5%-a volt osztrák állampolgár; a külföldiek közül 0,5% a régi (2004 előtti), 0,5% az új EU-tagállamokból érkezett. 2001-ben a lakosok 98,9%-a római katolikusnak, 0,2% pedig felekezeten kívülinek vallotta magát. Ugyanekkor a német anyanyelvűeken (99,8%) kívül egy cseh és egy horvát élt a községben.

Travel companions are also required to sign a liability/publicity release prior to issuance of tickets. Additionally, travel companions/guests of the winner may be subject to a background check, which may impact their ability to participate in the prize.
At Omaze, we believe fundraising should be about impact, not percentages. Our model allows us, in partnership with Charities Aid Foundation America (we call them CAFA), to really make a difference and disrupt the way society traditionally thinks about charitable giving.
Here's how it works: Omaze and CAFA work together to offer incredible prizes and experiences that anyone can potentially win. You don't have to donate to enter, but if you do, your donation to CAFA is then used to make a charitable grant to a great cause, which we love. Omaze pays for everything that's needed to run the sweepstakes, which means the only ones taking a chance are the entrants (you!)—not the charity. The nonprofit can spend less time worrying about raising funds, and instead focus their energy on doing awesome work.
*This means that for the typical campaign, from every dollar you donate, 60 cents is passed directly through to CAFA, all of which is then used by CAFA to make a grant to the associated charity. If there are multiple charities, then grants of equal share are made to each charity. Of the remaining 40 cents, 25 cents is typically used to pay for things like advertising, payment processing and the costs of making the campaign a success—including providing the prize. Then the last 15 cents goes to Omaze and is used to cover the cost of providing and maintaining the technology and team that makes this all happen.
The result? Causes get a guaranteed grant with no risk and no overhead or investment, our lucky winners get awesome prizes, and everyone else gets to help a great cause and spread joy!

Q: How to choose one specific fgure to plot in Matlab? How to choose one specific fgure to plot in Matlab? hold on cannot help if I want to choose not last figure. Is it possible to choose specific figure to display information in?

A: Special function figure is used to create new figure graphics objects as well as for selecting some older, already present figure as active for imminent plotting. Function figure and plotting functions (plot, stem etc.) return figure handle of currently active figure that could be used later.
Here's an example:
fh = figure;  % create new figure and save handle in fh
plot( ... something ... );
...

When you want to plot to that figure again you should do:
figure(fh);
plot( ... something else ...);
